Bloody Tuesday - A Game of Cards

Bloody Tuesday, Sep 11th 2001

******

And suddenly all angels
Had withdrawn from this world

Of ours.

God had re-called them.
No longer on duty they were.
God had lost this world

Of ours

in a game of cards.

Had lost it to the Devil.

And the Devil himself was
To sent his own angels bringing
Fire and brimstone upon this world

Of ours.

But as the ashes settled among
The debris, a cry went out to this world

Of ours.

And up, up into a death-steaming sky.

God, the cry would say,
Get your God-damned ass down
Here to this world

Of ours.

You are needed.
Needed now.

In our darkest moments
Do not abandon us.

Not for an absurd, silly,
Stupid game of cards.

That is what it was, wasn´t it?
Just a game of cards.

Just a game.

Just a game?

The prize being

This world

Of ours?
